Step 4 - Prepare for Calibration

This step starts the calibration process for the LSPX1H / HR-X (HR-X1-P) Probe Changer.

The calibration process for the probe changer uses any appropriate tip with an LSPX1C or LSPX1H styli holder. You may also use a 5 x 20 mm tip defined as the LSPX1H_CAL_PROBECHANGER or LSPX1C_CAL_PROBECHANGER. The probe must be accurately defined for the probe changer calibration to be successful. The tip does not need to be calibrated, but it must be defined at the wrist angle, which is needed for the calibration.

To start the calibration process:

1. Select the Calibrate tab in the Probe Changer dialog box (Edit | Preferences | Probe Changer):

Probe Changer dialog box - Calibrate tab

2. In the Active probe changer list, select Probe Changer 1: TYPE=LSPX1H.

3. The entry in the Active probe file list defaults to the current measurement routine setting. If this is not what is to be used for the rack calibration, select the proper probe.

4. The entry in the Active tip list defaults to the current measurement routine setting. If this is not what is to be used for the rack calibration, select the tip ID to be used for calibration. This is usually T1A0B0.

5. Click Calibrate.

6. Empty the ports of all probes.

7. When you are ready to take the first measurement, click OK.

In the next step, you take the first manual hit.
